Hamish Foster

'This picture was taken up at Coronet Peak at the paragliding take off. As we were waiting to launch a cloud rolled up the hill, creating a whiteout and about 15 minutes later it retreated back down the hill!' wrote Hamish.

Ravina Nair

'Hi James,
I have been using your site for weather predictions for about 4 years now and it is the best.
We cruised down from the Pacific six years ago and have found your site invaluable for our cruising around NZ and also for planning our next bluewater trip.
Attached is a photo of Whangaroa Harbour in April, hope you like,
kind regards,
Ravina Nair.'

Dougie McGibben

'Thought you might like this shot of a fogbow taken in Turangi on 15 May 2008.
We were on our way to Martinborough and had driven down from Auckland
to Taupo the previous night. It was early morning and quite cold, with
mist coming from the lake. We stopped in Turangi for 5
minutes and I spotted this wonderful fogbow in the carpark. I just got
out of the car in the photo, so I had to panorama it to get the whole
thing in.

Nikon D70 with 18mm zoom. 1/50th at F20 at 0815 on 15 May 2008
Two shots stitched with Autostitch, cropped and dust bunnies removed.
Keep up the good work!' wrote Dougie.
